This is a relatively long story.
The early winter nights were chilly. Before Ruan Jiaojiao headed out, Duan Xi wrapped layer upon layer around her. But these layers could only keep her body warm, not her heart from the chill.
When Lu Xian went abroad initially, he claimed he was going in Shu Jiao's place to explore the mobile phone market and broaden his horizons. But in truth, everyone knew he just wanted to avoid Ruan Jiaojiao and break off this relationship.
Lu Xian was also aware that the excuses he made to Ruan Jiaojiao were ineffective. But he had no choice. The bond between Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi started in childhood, and he missed his chance early on. He tried hard, but the effort only led to mutual embarrassment. Unable to possess or let go, he chose to leave the country, whether for Ruan Jiaojiao or himself.
